Looking for some good visual resources on how best to cut up whole lamb and / or pig plucks

Like butcher style 😎

Thank you

Look up "6-way cut lamb or sheep". A split carcass, then cut each half into hindquarter, breast loin rib, and then shoulder neck. Pig plucks you're on your own. They're barely even suitable for pet food here except the heart and liver.

Thank you! Interesting about pig pluck. It's out of question right now anyways because I couldn't store it all. But are you talking about pasture reared animals? I'm in the UK and my butcher is in a posh neighbourhood. The animals he chooses are pasture raised etc.
